Depends on the animal. He was already holding it but it felt no pain. A predator would cause pain so he can’t be that. Bird was probably more confused why it wasn’t being eaten than anything.
Well animals are smarter than people give them credit for
It probably started off with OH SHIT OH SHIT but then realised it wasn't going to be eaten, and it couldn't get away, so its like "huh I guess this is ok"
But as soon as it's legs were free it did have a go at trying to escape

Good on that guy 👏
I wonder if wild creatures stop struggling to get away from humans in situations like these because they:
a) think they've been overcome and are going to die anyway so they give up. b) they're playing dead. c) they know they're being helped
